"The most abundant fossil fern spores in Hell Creek belong to the royal fern family Osmundaceae. The modern cinnamon fern Osmundastrum is a very close relative of this species. Like Osmundastrum, these large herbs grow colonially in swampy environments. Some osmundaceae are among the most nutritious ferns for herbivores to consume."
― Saurian encylopedia
Osmunda is known as a member of the royal fern family, which includes some modern-day species, like the cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum). Ferns of this family are among the largest of ferns.
